Thank God she never stopped writing because as luck and a whole lot of work would have it, a couple of tech blogs took her on, more came a-knocking, and now she's got the best of both worlds: crunching numbers throughout the day while writing about all sorts of crazy gear at night.

It's only fitting that the biggest pop culture characters find themselves painted on the back of McDonald's french fry cartons. Pop icons, pop fries into your mouth... get it?

This creative series by Australian artist Ben Frost features the like of Bart Simpson, Batman, Hellboy, and Peter Griffin painted in acrylic and I bet McDonald's couldn't be happier. They're as good as the fries that the cartons used to hold; so much so that all of the carton portraits have already sold out.

Private IMAX Theater: The Only Way to Watch Your Homemade Movies (No, Not Home Movies)

By Hazel Chua | May 8, 2013 @ 11:00 am

By homemade, you do know what we're talking about, right?

Unless you've got a partner who's up for anything and everything, chances are you only got to record that video by hook or by crook (or with a lot of begging.) That means viewing it should be made a big deal, and how much bigger can you get than by screening it on your very own private IMAX theater?

Egotastic! Style: ‘Time Traveller’ Watch is For the Worldly Traveler

By Hazel Chua | May 8, 2013 @ 7:00 am

Have you ever had one of those Hangover moments where you go on a night out with friends and wake up in a totally different country? You might've realized then that a damn good watch that can give you the time wherever you are would come in handy. An app would suffice, but if you can't even find your phone, then what good can they do?

Luckily for worldly travelers, such a watch exists and it's aptly called the 'Time Traveller.'

So Weird, It’s Good: An Emotional Piano Cover of ‘Who Let the Dogs Out’ (VIDEO)

Who Let This Guy Out?!

The Baha Men had a hit on their hands with Who Let the Dogs Out? It was a catchy tune, it came with a hilarious video, and really, what's not to like about dudes singing a lively ode to their dogs? The song was released when most of you were but wee lads, although it was so popular, I'm sure you've heard it at least once or twice in your lifetime.

Now, thirteen years after its release, New Zealand-based comedian and musician Matt Mulholland is reviving the not-so-classic tune and giving it a classy spin. Matt gives a heartfelt rendition of the disco hit and I have to say that it's the weirdest cover that I have heard.

For Dudes With Small Hands: Hoyle Slice Playing Cards

By Hazel Chua | May 7, 2013 @ 11:00 am

So you're trying to shuffle and failing horribly because your hands are too freakin' small. If it weren't for the Hoyle Slice Playing Cards, I'd probably just tell you to leave the table or give up being a dealer for good because it's just going to mess up your game and crimp your style. Because honestly, nobody wants to hook up with a bad shuffler.

But as it turns out, the cards exist, so you're safe for the moment.

Days Photo Diary for iOS Lets You Keep Track of Your Daily Bangs

By Hazel Chua | May 7, 2013 @ 7:00 am

Have you ever heard of the Bang-a-Day challenge? It's pretty clear what you're supposed to do based on its name alone. I never attempted it myself, although I know a great deal of guys who did. Suffice to say, few succeeded, and one of those who did got so sick of doing the dirty that he put himself on a self-imposed dry spell.

Whether you're attempting to take on this near-impossible challenge or not, one app that you'd definitely benefit from having on your phone is Days.

Girl Snorts Condom Up Her Nose and Pulls It Out of Her Mouth (VIDEO)

By Hazel Chua | May 6, 2013 @ 1:00 pm

Kinky or Gross? You Decide.

Some people resort to doing pretty disgusting stuff when they're bored. Take the case of Amber Strong, for example. She decided to take on the Condom Snorting challenge and snorted a rubber up her nose. Clearly condoms aren't meant to stay in the human body, so she pulled it out of her mouth moments later.

Disgusting? Yes. Kinky? Not really.
